Vibraphone Technique: Dampening and Pedaling
By: David Freeman
Etude #3
Lesson Material with instructor Tony Miceli.
Still think I can have a lighter touch to the instrument, and for some reason I have a few “buzzing” sounds as I dampen a bar with the mallet. I’m guessing the buzz comes from not dampening the bar firm enough?
A little Saturday morning practice before heading out to mow the lawn. Ha!Ha! Playing "Don't Forget (Renato's Theme"), a beautiful song composed by the great Pat Metheny. I love Pat's writing and the sound and feel of my M39 Vic Firth mallets.
Here's a great version of 23 by my student Morgan Walbridge
Hi
here´s some more music i composed for the detective novel. ths is very very simple but i like the possibilities of the malletkat to add spacey sounds. it fits perfect to the mood in the story which is very sad and dark as you can hear :)
i also added donnerblech (don´t know the english word for it) and cymbal played with bow.
as i said nothing fancy to play but i like the mood and the recording.

With Horace Silver
Here is our version of the children song no 6 by chick corea. i don´t like the reverb on the recording and humming like keith jarret of the piano player but i had no influence on both :)
other than that i think we played it ok.
Martin legemann: Piano
Tarik Dosdogru: Vibes
Tell me what you think!

"Fortune Smiles" - one of my favorite songs from Keith Jarrett. I'm a huge fan of his playing and compositions. This song was recorded on one of my favorite recordings released in 1971 and titled "Gary Burton and Keith Jarrett"
OMG! How about taking this setup for a 50 dollar gig! Maybe these guys are famous?
Well, I'd rather play the vibes and play tunes, but I'm sure lots of people like there music!
So don't complain the next time you have to change your cord!!!

Per the other post about noise... this is what a functioning, quiet one looks like.
